Hi, everyone! I'm brand new to this board! Just hit 14 weeks today & I could not be more excited! This is my 1st pregnancy. I suppose I was hoping to miraculously start feeling better like today, but it doesn't seem to be working that way so far! Lol! I am just hoping the nausea passes soon & that I have more energy. So here's a question. What do you all think of prenatal massage therapy? I have been dying for a massage, but I haven't taken the time to call around yet to see what massage places in my area have therapists who are trained in prenatal massage. For any of you who have tried it, how did it make you feel & did you enjoy it or did it make you feel worse?
Re: Entering the 2nd trimester!
Welcome!
I get short massages at PT in the chair which are fabulous. The full body massages I get from my MT are done on my side, which for me personally is a little uncomfortable for my shoulders (not sure where I should let them fall), but it does wonders for my back.
